A newly constructed two-room building of Raghopur Basic School in Mirchaiya Municipality-3 of Siraha has been vandalized by a group on September 29. After the room was vandalized, the materials were found scattered in the schoolyard and the recently resumed teaching at the school has been halted.

School principal Dev Shankar Yadav alleged that a group led by Khageshwor Gohibar Yadav vandalized the newly constructed two-room building.  The locals demanded to search for the group that vandalized the school and take strict action.
